Defeat

By Peter Lawles

12 pts. TJARNARIANS. 3 London, Apr. 11.

Some delightful running by W. T. H. Davies, the stand-off half, played a big part in Swansea'i victory against the Barbarians by a penalty goal and three tries to a penalty goal.

In the first half he worked to. wards the blind side on the left, beat Hoberts with a hint of a turn Inwards, and then sent Sullivan on to complete the move. Towards the end of the game he turned indifferent Barbarian passing to bis own as- count and, moving extremely fast along the right touch-line, scored a try by the flag.

He had a most competent partnci in Haydn Tanner, and between them they outplayed the Barbarian pair, Cooke and Walker, though it is only fair to say that Walker was off the field for time early in the first half with a knee injury. Roberts, the full-back, also retired for a time na a result of a headlong tackle of W. Davies, while Duff went off for good shortly before ilf-time with what belleved to be a fractured cheek-

bone.

In the Swansen centre Claude Davey and Ron Williams tacitled magnificently, and if truth be told the visiting outsides never really looked like scoring. Macrae crashed awAY monotonously, but was Invariably grassed, and Leyland, too often watching the man instead of keep- ing his eye on the ball, rarely took his passes. Neither Obolensky nor Williams on the wings had the palest ghost of a chance, Roberts, the full- back, was the one visiting outside to suggest international class,
